In the Primera B Metropolitana table, Excursionistas currently occupy 1st and UAI Urquiza sit 21st, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. Excursionistas have been picking up results at a respectable clip, WWLWW over their last five with a season win rate of 57.14%. The visitors have been enduring a wretched campaign, L in their last five and a season win rate of just 11.43% that leaves them deep in trouble. Where Excursionistas have built their campaign on solidity, UAI Urquiza have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. Despite his age, and recent injury record, Rodri remains the most complete central midfielder to have operated in the Premier League over the past five years.
